My friends and I were at 100AM at Amara Hotel having dinner and after dinner, we were leaving to find somewhere nice for desserts and hang out. We just happened to pass by Tsujiri Tea House that is at level 1 just beside the escalator and being a fan of anything matcha, I persuaded them to give it a try as this brand of Tea House has been around for more than 150 years originating from Uni in Kyoto, Japan.Using the finest quality of green tea, this kiosk serves a selection of pattiseries includ
Using the finest quality of green tea, this kiosk serves a selection of pattiseries including shaved ice, soft serve ice cream, ice blended and hot/cold latte selection. Beside the kiosk, there were a few seating places which doesn't allow a huge group of people to hang out here. However, the staffs were very helpful to bring out some stools for us to sit as there weren't enough chairs.Looking like a typical bubble tea kiosk, there were menu hanging above the counter and also menu in a mini leaflet so you can carry it around in your pocket to decided on your next order. It is very helpful because they will issue a member card and will issue a stamp with every $5 purchase to redeem a free drink after 10 orders.
I didn't know what to order being my first time here and the staff recommended me to have the Shiratama Parfait (O-maccha) ($7.80) which was a popular choice among many people. I can see why as it has their signature matcha soft serve accompanied by a mochi with peanut shavings. It is topped onto some Azuki Beans too, making it oh-so-heavenly! My perfect combination! The soft-serve has a very smooth texture with a nice, milky flavour. The soft-serve took some time to melt too and of course, that rich matcha flavour was excellent! How nice is it the chewy mochi ball complements the soft serve very well.
My friend had the Shiratama Parfait (O-maccha) ($7.80) too but they have a different choice of topping, a chocolate roll instead of a mochi! How interesting to have chocolate with matcha but both of it goes along too balancing out the sweetness of the chocolate. My female friend enjoys it with the crunchy cornflakes in between. What an interesting combination!
Being a huge fan of Yuzu, I couldn't resist not ordering the YUZU Citron Tea Float (O-maccha) ($6.80) which has a nice citrus twist topped with creamy matcha soft serve. I thought the combination is a little weird but as long you finish the soft serve before it melts into the yuzu sofa, it should be alright! Overall, I enjoyed my post-dinner dessert here as macha generally is beneficial to health and I need not worry about all the excessive sugary sweetness. I will be back again to try their other items like O-maccha Latte with Whip Cream and even Original Black Tea Latte as well as O-maccha Float too!
